I'm in America tho

You've got quite the edge in regards to shipping

photekq · 05 Jun 2016, 13:59

Blimey. I've you're in America I probably wouldn't bother with this sale. Even if you won it at 20 quid, you'd end up paying more than the keyboard's worth in total!

Stabilized · 05 Jun 2016, 14:02

At £14 for UK shipping, you can probably assume that shipping to the US will be eye watering!

photekq · 05 Jun 2016, 14:03

I would expect £60+ for shipping, honestly. There is no country worse than the UK for shipping!

Yea, i've pretty much come to terms with that.

Which is a shame, the rackmount form factor is pretty sick.

I guess my lackrack doesn't need a dedicated keyboard to the tune of £30 shipping

Edit: 30 is what he told me. I guess that's not bad for UK -> US

photekq · 05 Jun 2016, 14:07

£30 for shipping that thing from UK to US? I would have thought much higher than that, unless he's planning on shipping it freight

Stabilized · 05 Jun 2016, 14:09

Well if you two are bidding I think I will back down. I wanted the doubleshots with the 1.75 shift for my 60%, but not really bothered about the rest of it.

That's a bigfoot, not an XT. Same physical layout, bigger case and weirder controller!

Dra · 05 Jun 2016, 17:46

My bad, fixed, I'm stupid when it comes to IDing

I'm going for this one.

£17.. Very happy with that one!

Someone got that beamspring displaywriter relatively cheaply too. Hopefully, it's someone from here.

Congrats! I couldn't quite swing it.

My family would have murdered me if i bought another keyboard anyway

photekq · 05 Jun 2016, 21:15

FWIW my max was about £40.. Shipping definitely won that one for me.

Bravo Seebart!

I couldn't justify myself more than 66 since I have a lot of other projects running.. out of curiosity how much did you snipe max?

emdude · 05 Jun 2016, 21:54

So many beam springs as of late, it's really neat everyone is getting a chance to own these boards.

seebart · 05 Jun 2016, 22:47

About 79 but I was not expecting to get it. Anyway a few of those vintage keyboards he's still got in there till tuesday are interesting so we'll see if I get one or two of those. Not everyone is getting the chance and it's very unusual for this many to pop up, especially over here. One exclusive combination I do now have is a Beamspring Displaywriter and Model F Displaywriter.

tentator · 06 Jun 2016, 00:32

yeah me too.. uhm.. I think we are going to make this guy to happy there...

on anyway, this one seems quite cheap maybe? -> http://www.ebay.de/itm/Cherry-Electrica ... 2246195496

This is hysterical... I love the vents on it like it is an 80's mainframe. WTF is it venting?

Blaise170 · 06 Jun 2016, 04:18

Might be speakers.

Did they have Dolby in 198x? That looks more like some THX Ultra certified. Crazy

EDIT: I should use as the soundbar for the TV. To my wife... "What do you think?!?"

LewisR · 06 Jun 2016, 04:59

It's missing the rest of the unit.

Engicoder · 06 Jun 2016, 06:23

haha...that's perfect!

Blaise170 · 06 Jun 2016, 06:46

I'm basing my theory of speakers off of this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/INTERGRAPH-RT91 ... Sw~bFWM-XH
